The Gulfstream G100 Cockpit Cover helps reduce damage to the upholstery and avionics caused by excessive heat and can eliminate problems caused by leaking door and window seals. They keep the windshield and window surfaces clean and help prevent vandalism and theft.
The Gulfstream G100 Cockpit Cover is designed to cover the windshield and side windows of the cockpit. Attachment buckles are made of nonmetal Delrin, designed for rugged outdoor use. The windshield cover comes with a duffle bag. The N-number can be imprinted onto the cover for an extra charge. The windshield cover and the duffle bag are trimmed in the colors of the aircraft.
Each Cockpit Cover is normally made from Silver Acrylic Sunbrella or Silver Solution-Dyed Polyester and is lined 100% with a soft and smooth microfiber. Bruce's Custom Covers developed this material combination especially for aircraft protection. The outer material is medium weight and treated for water resistance, UV resistance and anti-static buildup. The inner lining is a very soft and smooth microfiber to prevent scratching. The materials are extremely reflective, and tests show that the cabin interior temperature can be reduced to near-ambient temperature on even the hottest of days. It is water, ice and snow repellent, yet breathable enough to allow moisture to escape from between the cover and the aircraft surface. Our materials do not contain hydrocarbon compounds that can harm Plexiglas windshields and acrylic finishes. Other colors are available. Please contact us for availability and price.
The Gulfstream G100 Pitot Tube Covers, made of Naughahyde vinyl, are designed to cover the entire pitot assembly. Slipping on over the tube, the cover tightens around the base with a special Velcro strap detail. A "remove before flight" streamer is attached to the cover. Non-burning Pitot Covers are designed to withstand more than 500 ° Fahrenheit, and will prevent the pitot cover from melting onto the tube if the pitot heat is accidentally turned on with the pitot cover attached.
Tri-Fold Ring Engine Covers are designed to install easily yet be completely storable. A spring steel hoop is sewn into the hem of each cover, allowing them to be installed without climbing onto the wing or using a stepladder in many cases. To store the covers the spring steel hoop folds like a band-saw blade into three nesting rings. Each cover folds into a compact circular bundle which is stored in the included duffle bag, yet they unfold quickly for use. The Tri-Fold Ring cover is made of medium weight Solution-Dyed Polyester which is available in a variety of colors to match the paint trim. Each cover set comes complete with installation and folding instructions. The aircraft's registration number can be silk screened onto the cover for an extra charge.
The Gulfstream G100 Bikini Style Engine Covers are a single-piece design using a soft and smooth stretchy and fabric. The cover stretches tightly over both the intake and exhaust, installing quickly and easily. These covers are designed to be used as hangar dust covers and have a useful life of approximately one year.
Heat shield Interior Reflectors are made of a special laminate of metallic polyester film and closed cell foam. Less than 1/8" thick, the Reflector can roll up and store in a sleeve, yet is stiff enough when flat to stand up against the windshield using the sun visors and window framing only. On some designs no Velcro or suction cups are necessary. Heat shields are an excellent short-term remedy for cockpit overheating, but use the Cockpit Cover for more effective and practical long term protection. Heat shields should not be used on polarized windows.
